Im going to buy a tank. I dont know if i want a 80 or 100 any feed back would be great.
 
If you aren't sure, it's probably because you're still new enough to not know what questions to ask, let alone the answers. There are a lot of questions and different folks come up with different answers, to the best of my knowledge no one has ever felt that any tank was "the" answer. Inasmuch as the 80 is the default choice, I'd start there and then ask yourself what the relative pro's and con's are to a 100. Make a list, work on it for a week, then make your choice.

What kind of diving are you doing / do you intend to do?
How much gas do you need for a dive?
Does the size difference - weight or dimension - make any difference to your diving?
Steel or aluminum?
What do your friends dive?
 
depends on a number of factors, such as


your size
your consumption rate
aluminum or steel
...
personal preference for trim, etc.​
